A Fourth Act is an interdisciplinary collective of storytellers, facilitators, researchers, designers and technologists committed to delivering meaningful stories. Our roots are in storytelling and journalism. Together we have unprecedented reach to a diversely rich network of fellow collaborators throughout the storytelling fields of journalism, media, technology and art, as well as researchers in the professions and academia.

Stories invite us...

Stories is an invitation to gather, ask questions, share our own experience. This untapped collective knowledge is fundamental for making social change possible. A Fourth Act amplifies the connection between storytellers and the community they wish to invite. We design processes and build tools that unleash the full potential of stories to create long-lasting positive impact.

We design processes and build tools that unleash the full potential of stories to create long-lasting positive impact. We don’t simply help build an audience. We build communities.

OPPORTUNITY

Media producers, such as filmmakers and journalists, have yet to build on the power that lies within the evolving media landscape of an engaged and connected community. Audience outreach and engagement campaigns remain an afterthought to film or story - an ineffective and wasteful use of expensive, limited resources. We provide a more holistic approach — one that builds a community around the story rather than simply distributing a story to an audience.

WHAT WE DO

We listen. We envision. We design. We build. By honoring the knowledge of the community, A Fourth Act will work with you to build engagement from the ground up.» more
